webber Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 We've around 40 guns out across the estate. Neighbouring shoots will also be out in force. We've got heavy rain and wind forecast, not too chuffed about the rain though. Please remember to keep an eye open for GREY SQUIRRELS whilst awaiting the pigeon. I have a few dates available later in the month if anyone is interested. Straight shooting to all. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Its our first club charity shoot today, hopefully we will have around 40 guns manning the woods on a small estate from 2:30 pm until dusk. It is not looking to hopeful in this neck of the woods at the moment with only a light west wind. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well pigeon were certainly scarce yesterday, 34 club members out and the best bag I saw with only 4 members to book in was eight birds, most in fact only one or two and several clean barrels. A boring 3 hours personally in one of the least pigeon popular woods with 4 shots for one bird. This was once one of our best venues, woods have matured, some badly damaged in past gales with winbdfalls and brambles making it difficult to pick up any shot birds. Ah well it can only get better, roll on next week. Blackpowder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ten shots, Three pigeons and very wet ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The best bag on the estate yesterday was 14. I managed 2 for 9 shots, but failed to pick either, although the dog man clocked off early due to the inclement weather conditions. Everyone had a good soaking. Several of the guns in the wood that I was looking after had not shot roosting pigeon before and asked how they would know when to pack up. I advised that I would blow my whistle 3 times, but that another good indicator is when the waistband on your underpants feels damp. The majority arrived at the cabin several minutes before the whistle was blown, so I guess that their moisture content had reached saturation level. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
